Here are a few ideas:

a. Perhaps it should slide into view on the main desktop if it detects
that plasma isn't running anymore?  

b. Perhaps it can sit behind plasma somehow so that when/if plasma dies,
it automatically becomes accessible.  

c. If somewhere in System Settings there is a plasma config page, it
could display something along the lines of:

"Plasma is currently not running, please click this button to start it
up"

BUT, if plasma isn't running, then there will be absolutely no way to
start system settings, so that probably isn't an option.
